There's another Mesteño 1997 (mustang) at the University of Oklahoma, by Luis Jiménez.

DENVER: Luis Jiminez's mustang statue would have been controversial even if it hadn't killed him. The 32-ft. tall fiberglass, unholy blue horse with red eyes had long ago been commissioned for the entrance of Denver International Airport. In 2005, the horse broke loose from a support in the sculptor's studio in 2005, pinning him against a wall. Enroute to the hospital, he died from his injuries. The Jiminez family finished the sculpture, but the "curse" element will be hard to shake off as time goes on for this one...

WIKI: He was killed in his studio on June 13, 2006 when a large section of Blue Mustang, intended for Denver International Airport, fell on him and severed an artery in his leg.

Haiku protest -

Anxiously I fly
apocalyptic hell beast
fails to soothe my nerves.
